Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

For Sergeant Doug Weddleton:

Our duty as a trooper on patrol is fraught with difficult tasks, and intermingled with routine duties that are essential to keeping the motoring public, and others, safe. More often than not, when a tragedy occurs that claims the life of patrol trooper, it is sudden and without warning. Almost always, it is a trooper making an attempt to do what so many of us have done over and again. Most of us are alive more by luck than skill. We can take credit for very little when we survive and others do not. Fate is accountable to no one. It is our lot.

We regret learning of the death of Doug. He gave his life in the defense of others and while doing his sworn duty. He stands now as one among many who laid down his life rather than swerve from the path of duty. No honor can be higher. No recognition can be greater.

We pray for his family, friends, co-workers and all who care about him. May they be ready to reach-out to one another in the times that lie ahead.

As a brother trooper, I am indeed proud to render Sergeant Doug Weddleton a final salute.

Sgt. Weddleton, all of us in the law enforcement family are at a loss. Those who know and love you best are not far from our hearts and are in our prayers. This was tragic in the most literal sense of the word.

God Bless and may you forever Rest in Peace, Brother, you have truly earned that rest.

God will look out for your family, though I would guess you'll never be far from them.

If it wasn't for State Police we would have total chaos on our highways. There would be road rage, way more people speeding way over 100 mph, accident's with no help, and an unfriendly place for your families to travel. The Massachusetts State Police Troopers are the public's HEROS and when this happens, it is tragedy that is unimaginable. My heart goes out to the family of this man and I salute his career and brave heroic service to our beloved commonwealth. James Vosolo Danvers MA.
